After a few unavoidable delays, including town permitting and the current pandemic, St John the Baptist has finally broken ground on our campus reconfiguration project! In late May, we started ground prep for our new septic system (north of the current Chapel). In early June, work is now being done to prepare the site for the slab foundation for the addition; framing should follow shortly after. The project will be in high gear throughout the summer and we will provide brief occasional updates with photos via our eBB, www.stjohntb.org web site and our Face Book page (The Episcopal Church of St John the Baptist). Our target date for completion of StJB’s new Parish Hall addition — which includes a classroom, clergy office/work space, kitchen and 2 ADA bathrooms -- is by Thanksgiving 2020. Let’s hope and pray by then we can meet safely in-person and with great thanks to celebrate our grand opening and put our new addition to best use for our parish and serve the greater Wakefield community. For starters, we’ll thankfully host our biggest and best StJB Community Dinner ever!
